We are the children
Of the modern day –
Hearts borne on wings,
And feet of clay.

The clamour breeds forgetfulness
As the silence breeds despair,
The weary mind
Labours to hide,
From all the madness in the air.

In the night
cradled by dark,
In the silence
my pounding heart,
In the wantonness
of flesh against flesh,
In this moment dying
a little death.

Digital distractions,
Chemical relaxants,
Mediocre lunacy.
Ensnared in frenzied greed –
The obsequious cogs,
Within the great machine.

The enduring oak ~
stark winter spray
a delicate ebony lace ~ bestrewn,
against the midnight-hued sky
awash with stars
